Arachnida

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the anatomical features described in the specimen stem
Body plan consists of two tagmata (cephalothorax and abdomen), 4 pairs of walking legs (8 legs total), and 0 antennae.
Diagnostic anatomical structures such as leg count, body segmentation, and antennae presence distinguish the main classes of Arthropoda.
2
Compare given features against diagnostic arthropod class criteria
Arachnids are defined by 4 leg pairs and 0 antennae. Insects have 3 leg pairs and 1 antenna pair. Crustaceans have 5+ leg pairs and 2 antenna pairs. Chilopods have 1 pair of legs per segment.
Matching structural characteristics identifies Arachnida as the correct class.
